(Sandy) Alex G

From the venue:

Alex Giannascoli, better known as (Sandy) Alex G, has the special talent of creating beauty out of the sincerely strange. Over the course of eight albums, the young singer-songwriter has garnered a loyal following based on his vulnerable lyrics and mutant style of Americana that incorporates everything from folk-song balladry to pitch-shifting electronics. Now, after high-profile collaborations with Frank Ocean and Oneohtrix Point Never, Alex G has returned with his most succinct record to date, House of Sugar, via Domino Records. From the anthemic “Gretel” to the outlandish “Sugar,” Alex G has crafted an endearing meditation on entropy and rehabilitation that cements his place as one of the most innovative songwriters of today. — Jake Van Valkenburg
